Unintended consequences of disabling PAGER ACCESS during a quiz - 6/22

Today we learned that if an instructor has set up a D2L quiz and checked the box to "disable pager access" during the quiz, students who end up with a quiz "attempt in progress" (e.g., they did not click "submit" before closing the quiz, or clicked "save" but never "submit") will be unable to use the pager in any of their other classes until their quiz attempt is either submitted (which faculty can do on behalf of a student) or deleted (which faculty can also do).  Please be aware of this as you set up your quiz settings and also if you allow "attempts in progress" to linger in your class! -JH
